TW: emetephobia & mentions of ED
I am pretttyyy drunk the next time i manage to speak to Johnny. I am sat on claire's countertop when he wanders over to me.
"Heyyyyy Kavanagh" i say more drunkenly then i mean for it to be.
"how is my favourite shitfaced ice queen?" he replies
"i am doing grand thank you very much"
"mhm sure you are." he says "very drunk aren't you"
I just nod my head,to which he laughs. clearly my drunken state is funny to him.

It's now gotten very late and everyone had fallen asleep....or so i had thought. I was sat on the patio outside in claire back garden when i hear the door slide open. It makes me jump but when i see Johnny walk out i relax a little.
"i thought everyone was asleep" i mumble,still very drunk.
"so did i aleia, then i noticed you were missing,
and i saw the outside lights on,so i kinda put the pieces together" he replies sitting down next to me,leaning against the wall "why aren't you asleep?" he asks
"i don't sleep much" i mumble "im fine with staying up....and it's more peaceful at nighttime"
"it's more peaceful at night,yes...but when you have drunk half your body weight in vodka" he says,repeating my words back to me,i laugh gently
"still just as peaceful" i say. my phone buzzes. owen. my brother. i read the message
"have you eaten today A?"
i tilt the phone away from johnny so he can't see
"no" i quickly reply then put my phone face down on my legs.
"who was that?" he asks
"owen" i sigh
"your brother?" he says
"yeah." i reply
"he plays hurling right? with shans brother?"
"yeah" i smile "you seen him play?"
"heard." he says "supposedly a beast"
"you could say that" i smile. my phone vibrates again.
"aleia. when did you last eat?" it reads
"owen please just drop it i don't want it talk about it right now". owen reads the message.
i turn my phone off do not disturb and turn to Johnny.
"so bella huh?" i say to him changing the conversation completely. why the fuck did i just say that? maybe it's the alcohol. hm...my head hurts. is the ground spinning?
"what?!" he says slightly shocked "bella?! no no no god no...."
"then why has she called "operation binding 13 in school then?" i snicker
"operation what?!" johnny replies
"binding 13. some shitty name to basically say girls are trying to go for you. cringe i know"
"okay well....erm yeah no me and bella are a no go. we hooked up a couple times last year but now she won't leave me alone"
"always a good sign" i say "attachment issues....all the best people have them" i joke.
"so what's with you then hm?" he says
"what?" i reply. my head hurts.
"what's with you....? what's being going on in the life of Aleia that i've missed"
"literally fuck all. i've done practically nothing. i wake up, go to the rink, come home, read and do some school work. other then hanging out with you lot a do nothing"
"i find that hard to believe" johnny says
i look at him in confusion "you're a very interesting girl Aleia"
"i beg to differ"
"you're a figure skater for god sake! that can't not be interesting...that's like a sport that nobody does. you're different. i like that"
i smile softly. "thanks" i say gently. i feel dizzy. have i gone overboard on the drinks.
"you okay?" johnny says
"what?" i reply. i can't really hear him
"you seem off?"
"i feel sick" i say quickly standing up and running to the downstairs bathroom. i kneel down and start being sick. johnny comes in and kneels down beside me.
"you're okay" he coaxes "get it all out" he hums softly gently rubbing the small of my back
"fuck i'm sorry johnny" i cough
"hey no you're good" he says gently handing me a glass of water "when you've had to deal with a drunk gibsie many a time....this is a piece of cake"
"don't know how i feel being compared to gibs" i laugh softly
"you need to go to sleep Aleia" he helps me stand up
"thanks johnny" he sets me down on the spare sofa.
"you need anything?" he coos
"i'll be grand" i reply "thanks"
"lay on your side,for the love of god please don't choke"
"i won't i won't" i giggle
"night ice queen"
"night johnny"
